Barbados Shopping
|
|
The heart and soul of shopping
in Barbados is Broad Street, the main avenue of the capital
city of Bridgetown. Shops range from large department stores
to small specialty outlets. There are several shopping malls.
Merchants claim their duty-free prices are up to 50% less than
in Europe or North America. Visitors might keep in mind that
right outside Bridgetown is the Bayshore Complex, which not
only has shops but historic sites. One of the best places to
|
get local handicrafts including straw bags and rum cakes is Pelican
Village, also on the outskirts of Bridgetown. Shopping here, of
course, is not confined to the capital. Smaller towns such as St.
James and St. Peter also have a variety of craft and gift shops.
For visitors staying in apartments of hotels with kitchen facilities,
local supermarkets include Big B and Jordan’s Supermarket,
both chains.
